A Facebook post showing an emaciated horse near LaGrange prompting outrage on social media.

But the local sheriff says people are quick to judge the situation without knowing the facts.

Sheriff Jeff Campos said his department did act when it received complaints about the condition of the horses along State Road 9 north of County Road 300 North.

Accompanied by the State Veterinarian, they inspected the animals at the site Wednesday and found food and water adequate along with medical care for animals.

The State Veterinarian will make a follow-up visit later to assure the animals are being cared for.

The property was the site of previous animal care investigations. It was noted during one such investigation that the property owner obtains the animals already in poor condition and attempts to rehabilitate them.
